Don't SELL out Afghanistan

USA Today: Article on how it would be a mistake to reject the request for new troops for Afghanistan, the article states the following, " we might ultimately have to fall back on a narrow counterterrorism option. But that would be a major setback, and a major danger,.." As President Obama stated in March the future of Afghanistan has a major effect on Pakistan, at the end of the day the War in Afghanistan is a hard negative war, its not about Afghanistan its about Pakistan. If we sell out Afghanistan what are the chances for the survival of the secular Government of Pakistan, the West would be seen as weak, this could be read by Iran and Russia to makes moves in their region. Thus the decision by President Obama will have significant security effects for the USA and the World. Read of the Day.
